KCRS Live! Showcase Talent Revealed

January 12, 2012/by Caitlin Rantala

(L-R) Jim Collins, Andy Gibson, Aaron Lewis and Bobby Pinson

The lineup for this year’s KCRS Live!, sponsored by R&J Records, will feature Jim Collins, Andy Gibson, Aaron Lewis and Bobby Pinson. The artist/songwriter showcase will be held Wednesday, Feb. 22 from 4-5 PM at CRS 2012.

Collins has written some of Country music hits for Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley and Jason Aldean. Gibson’s debut release as a songwriter was “Don’t You Wanna Stay” for Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson. His current single as an artist is “Wanna Make You Love Me.”

Staind frontman Lewis has sold more than 14 million albums to date, including more than 300,000 copies of his 2011 R&J Records debut Country release, Town Line. Lewis will perform cuts at KCRS Live! from his soon-to-be released album, produced by R&J Records President James Stroud. And Pinson, a BMI Songwriter of the Year, has penned hits for Sugarland, Toby Keith, Brooks & Dunn, Rascal Flatts, Blake Shelton, among others.

“R&J Records is thrilled to be hosting KCRS Live! again this year,” says R&J Records’ Bill Catino. “Our industry and lives would be pretty boring without the music, and it all begins with a song. We have an amazing lineup again this year.”

CRS 2012 is held Feb. 22-24, 2012, in downtown Nashville, TN. The $499 regular rate registration expires Friday, Jan. 27.  On-Site registration increases to $599 effective Jan. 28. Visit www.CountryRadioSeminar.com to register today.
